current account with decent intrest (Advice Please)

Hi i currently have a graduate account, that is about to expire and return to being a standard Natwast current account. I already have a natwst current account through which I get paid and do all my daily transactions. I also have a mini isa in to which i am currently using to save for my wedding. But what I am after is a sneaky little account that i can stash the odd bit of cash in to for the occasional little treat (may be in a there for a month or two at a time). The intrest on the Natwest current account isn't brilliant and i don't really expect it to be as there is only a small amount passing through, but there must be something better out there. I also like the idea of maybe an online account but not essential depending on where the local branch. I have absolutly no desire for anything that involves a credit card but would like a switch card or equivalent.

I know its a big ask and I should do the leg work myself, but I thought this might be worth the try!!

    If I understand you correctly what you need is not current account, but easy-access saving account. Natwest e-savings account pays 4.33% - not the best rate, but much more than the current account.
    If you do need current account, try cahoot . Their current account pays up to 4.35%, Savings Account - 5.1%.
